“I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community,” Obama said of Wright. “I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

During what a source described as a “heated” phone call yesterday, Sharpton told Obama he was disappointed with the Illinois senator’s words on Friday, when Obama said “resorting to violence to express displeasure” was “completely unacceptable and counterproductive.”

BO you are denouncing the wrong reverend. While we think little of either Wright or Sharpton, there is a clear distinction. Wright has called for Divine retribution, and such is his right. Shartpon in inciting a riot and that is criminal. While Wright may be wrong, he is not a man of violence. On the other hand, Sharpton is a man of violence. BO forgot the demagoguery. Stop the violence. Give Sharpton the Sister Souljah treatment, if you have the courage of your convictions.
